How have you ruined your pre-schoolers day today?

[Slayduggee]

DD3 dropped her biscuit on the floor in the car. I picked it up and gave it back to her. Apparently it is dirty now and I have ruined her whole day.

Carried my flailing screaming toddler out of the pharmacy earlier because she didn’t want to leave!

If you haven’t read this, have a look. It’s in classics - the cutted up pear thread.

I contributed to that thread on behalf of my DC who is now a teenager! He still thinks I'm unreasonable...

Current preschooler mainly objects to me attempting to be more than 2cm away from her at any time. The worst thing I have attempted to do this week is use bubble bath, which she loved last week!

She's away upstairs till we all learn to behave

😂😂😂😂

I'm horrible because I didn't let my son put his kinetic sand in his ears 🥴😂

@Sodullincomparison

3 year old today “How about I carry my chair up the stairs?”

How about no?!

Over 20 minutes of full wailing “my chaaaaiiirr!!”

Ended instantly when some stickers appeared. Chair, what chair?

This week, I’ve made her walk on the wrong pavement, used four clips instead of three, poured some milk for my own cereal which she was saving for Daddy’s coffee, chose Chase instead of Rubble raisins and made her get a bath.

She has been distraught all week.

Paw patrol raisins?! Where do you get these??

Misses point entirely but desperate to know

@rageagainstbing not the original poster you can get paw patrol raisins from Tesco 🙂

Tried to buckle my 3 year old's seatbelt when he had spent too much time trying to do it 'all by myself'.

I opened the porridge she wanted me to make for her breakfast.

Took her to look at fireworks. She was disappointed that there was no dog poo to look at. She demanded that we went home due to the lack of dog poo, she was hoping that I was going to step in some.

Not mine, but a friend’s dd of just about 2, having lunch with my own of about the same age in my house.

She started asking for ‘pudding’, which soon, while we offered absolutely everything we could think of, turned into a screaming rage of a meltdown. ‘Pudding! Pudding! Pudding!!!🤬’

It eventually turned out out that she wanted cornflakes! Thank God I had some - talk about phew!

Paw Patrol raisins from Tesco or Ocado. Be aware they can cause more problems than they solve!

🤣

He's 5 so not technically a preschooler but we had a melt down this morning because he wanted to wear his boots, which he has grown out of to the extent that he couldn't actually get them onto his feet.

I put my 2.5 year olds poo down the toilet instead of letting her hold it. She wanted to give it a hug to say bye! I made her really sad apparently and she had to tell her dad on me!

To be fair @Aria999 I did that last night with the jeans I'd intended to wear

Wouldn’t let DS have jelly for breakfast.

Neglected to take his favourite toy to the playground.

Because we offered him the chance to speak to DGPs on WhatsApp.

The list is endless

@Rose789

I asked which cup she wanted pink or green. She chose green. I asked if she wanted milk or water. She chose milk. I presented milk in a green cup. She decided to scream like she was in the Sistine chapel for 37 fucking minutes.

Fucking love it when someone mentions the Sistine chapel. 😂😂😂

Early pick up from nursery to go biking in the park

Paw patrol raisins?! Where do you get these??

A hack I have learned with my niece is that anything can be "Paw Patrol" or "Frozen" if you have enough stickers knocking around

Want a snack? Obviously ... A banana? No chance in hell she is eating that disgusting thing ... A "Frozen" banana which is literally the same banana I offered 0.5 seconds ago but now has a sticker of Anna attached ? Why didn't you offer that first? It's the tastiest banana she has ever seen and I should know she only eats Frozen bananas.

Rinse and repeat with literally anything until you run out of stickers and pandemonium ensues

I was talking with my husband about the cats vet appointment and how he had torn his third eyelid in a fight. My daughter asked where her third eyelid was and when I told her she didn’t have one, she got really upset and started welling up!

well he's 7 but life is ruined because I told him he can't start doing homework 8 mins after we should've left for school!
I thought he was just getting his bag, but no.
he was getting his stuff out like there wasn't already an overwhelming time pressure to leave.

That is hilarious!

Mine at about 3 once wanted a glass of milk. The milk jug was almost empty, so I poured the last little splash of milk into the cup, then went to top it up from the full jug. But no. The milk he wanted had to come from the empty jug. Not the full one. "AT one! Not ISS one!" Cue howls of rage.

DS2 was about 3-4 when he asked for a bottle of juice.
As he started drinking it he started crying, the more he drank the more hysterical he became - because the juice in the bottle was slowly disappearing.
I told him that what was missing was now in his belly but he just cried "but I can't see what's in my tummy!".
He continued drinking, he continued crying and when the bottle was finally empty he threw a tantrum because all his juice was gone.
🤷‍♀️

I didn't kiss my daughter's conker before she went into school.

My daughter cried all the way home from nursery because she misses her imaginary Grandfather. I offered to let her ring her actual grandparents, but she didn’t want them, she wants the fictitious one.
